Do YOU know what you spent on AWS in 2010 ?
AWS continues to provide innovative pay-as-you-go infrastructure services, and we find more and more uses for them. Ylastic is built and run entirely on AWS, so we tend to rack up the expenses between production, and the various development and testing environments. But we do keep a close tab on our AWS spending, especially EC2 which is the largest component of our expenses. Ylastic helps us keep an eye on our spending on Ylastic. Here is a sampling from the spending analytics for one of our testing accounts for last year - 2010.
Visualize the division of your spending, so you know where to optimize. Spending too much on EBS snapshots? Maybe you dont need snapshots at such a frequent schedule.
View spending by region - Most testing happens for this account in US East, hence the skewed spending.
If you are on the go, you can still view and keep track of the spending data on your iPhone, Android or Blackberry6.
Alerts when spending exceeds thresholds set by you? Yep, we got that. Even more spending related analytics on the way :-)
